In his book, "Rock, Roll, and Remember", Dick Clark gives Paul credit for inadvertently giving Bobby Rydell's career a boost. For one of his Saturday shows, Dick needed someone from the audience to play the part of Fred and sit in the back seat of Paul's car. Who did he pull from the audience? The still unknown Bobby Rydell. --------------------------- |
|||||
In his book, "Clapton: The Autobiography", Eric Clapton says that the first 45 record that he bought was "When", the Kalin Twins big hit, written by Paul. --------------------------- |
|||||
During an interview for "Shake, Rattle, and Roll", John Fogerty was asked where he got the idea for recording "Midnight Special". He said, "I remembered hearing Paul Evans sing the song on the radio and it blew me away. I just added a little more vibrato to the mix and sang it the way Paul did." --------------------------- |
|||||
While promoting his cult film "Pecker" on NPR, John Waters (the director of "Hairspray") said that he chose Paul's recording of "Happy-Go-Lucky Me" as the theme for the movie because of its "diabolical happiness". Very COOL! --------------------------- |
